[0:00] If you're running a business or working
[0:01] as a freelancer or creator or making
[0:04] content to spread your ideas, your most
[0:06] valuable asset is writing, but you also
[0:09] have a very limited resource, which is
[0:12] your time. What if you could scale your
[0:14] writing without scaling the time you
[0:17] dedicate to it? That's what I'm about to
[0:20] show you. You'll see how I trained the
[0:22] AI, how I refined the style guide, and
[0:25] most importantly, how I created a
[0:27] self-improving feedback loop that keeps
[0:30] getting better every single time I use
[0:32] it. The first step is crucial. You need
[0:34] to select writing samples that model how
[0:38] you communicate. I specifically chose 20
[0:41] recent long- form essays that I felt
[0:44] demonstrated my current writing style. I
[0:45] used a simple Chrome extension called
[0:47] One Tab to gather all the open URLs all
[0:50] at once and drop them into the chat with
[0:53] Claude. I chose to focus exclusively on
[0:55] public professional writing. These 20
[0:58] pieces added up to almost 70,000 words,
[1:01] which is more than enough for the AI to
[1:03] understand how I write. I recommend that
[1:05] you do 5 to 10 writing samples or just
[1:08] as many as you have available. With my
[1:10] example selected, I asked it to start by
[1:13] creating the style guide. As you can see
[1:15] here, I said, "Please analyze all of
[1:17] these writing samples and create a
[1:19] comprehensive AI writing style guide
[1:21] that captures all aspects of my writing,
[1:24] thinking, and communicating." What the
[1:26] AI has come up with is decent. It's fine
[1:30] as a V1, but a lot of these descriptions
[1:33] are sort of abstract. Instead of just
[1:36] describi
